Searchable Bibliography

Our searchable bibliography will allow you to browse and easily find a list of curated sources pertaining to aromanticism, asexuality, and its related subject matters. To maximize the relevancy of the search results, these are our recommended steps to using the bibliography.

  1. Select the tags you are interested in the advanced filters such as affect, adolescence. Tags were manually assigned by our research team to each resource to ensure they are relevant.
  2. If you want to further specify your search results, you can also select the category (article, book chapter, etc.) and type of resource (academic or community).
  3. Search up the term you are looking for in the search bar. Your results will be filtered based on the tags, category, and type you've selected.
  4. You can also check and uncheck different types of information you want to see in the table such as Press, Disciple, Editors, etc.
  5. Additionally, Boolean Search functionalities are also available incuding AND, OR, NOT, Parentheses (), Quotation Marks "", Question Mark "?" and Asterisk "*". You can read more about these operators here.
